<u>Answer:</u> The process is called as nuclear decay process.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear reaction are defined as the reactions in which nucleus of an atom is involved.

Isotopes under decay process in order to attain stability.

Unstable isotopes known as parent isotopes undergo various decay processes to form stable isotopes known as daughter isotopes.

The various decay processes are:

  • <u>Alpha decay:</u> In this process, alpha particle is released.
  • <u>Beta decay:</u> In this process, beta decay is released.
  • <u>Gamma decay:</u> In this process, gamma decay is released.

Hence, the process is called as nuclear decay process.

. Write the balanced equation, then outline the steps necessary to determine the information requested in each of the following:
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) The equation of the reaction is;

2Na + Cl2 ------>2NaCl

Number of moles of sodium = 10g/23 g/mol = 0.43 moles

If 2 moles of sodium reacts with 1 mole of Cl2

0.43 moles reacts with 0.43 * 1/2 = 0.215 moles of Cl2

Mass =  0.215 moles of Cl2 *71 g/mol = 15.265 g

b) Equation of the reaction;

HgO -> Hg + O2

1.252 moles of HgO 1.252/32 gmol = 0.039 moles

1 mole of HgO  yields 1 mole of oxygen hence

0.039 moles of HgO yields   0.039 moles of oxygen

Mass of oxygen = 0.039 moles * 32 g/mol = 1.248 g

c) Equation of the reaction;

2NaNO3 -----> 2NaNO2 + O2

Number of moles of 128 g of oxygen = 128g/32 g/mol = 4 moles

2 moles of NaNO3  yields 1 mole of oxygen

x moles of NaNO3   yields 4 moles of oxygen

x = 8 moles of NaNo3

Mass of NaNO3 = 8 * 85 g/mol = 680 g of NaNo3

Answer:

Part 1. When the balloon is filled half of the way, and placed into the freezer, it will shrink. This happens because kinetic molecular theory tells us that a decrease in temperature decreases the kinetic energy of the gas molecules in the balloon. Viscous gases like hydrogen are less likely to shrink.

Part 2. When the balloon is placed out in the hot sun, most likely the balloon will swell and grow. This happens because the kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases due to solar radiation transforming into heat energy and then transforming into kinetic energy. Sticky gases like neon are more likely to grow.
